It may not be easy for Sousa, as he was away for a while and this is his first rally with the DS; besides, his main target is the Azorean championship, not the ERC. On the other hand he’s more used to a flat out pace than a tactical one and may be tempted to match Moura speed, meaning he could be fighting for the top 5. Anyway, it’s great to have him back. Fingers crossed for him.

Winning the Azores Rallye guarantees much more visibility than winning 10 championships in the Azores. We are facing a "war" between two tobacco companies. Either one wants to win. In the remaining events the visibility is almost nil.

No one questions the speed of Bernardo Sousa but we also know that he´s very inconsistent in terms of results.

”I have been aiming to compete in the top tier of the European Rally Championship for a long time. Thanks to the €100,000 prize fund for winning the ERC Junior U27 title last year it has made that dream a possibility. There were many many discussions and options on the table so It has been an incredibly difficult task to choose the right one.

Having met with Toksport in Germany in February I am very confident with my decision, they are a passionate and top team and their offer was too good to refuse. They want to win as much as me so it makes perfect sense! I can’t wait to drive the Fabia R5 for the first time and to start a new title fight in the Azores next week with the new team and car. The Azores is one of my favourite rallies in the world, however I’ll face a big challenge.”
